Isabella Rae's Blog

Anyone who tells you that writing is easy, is lying. As writers we have to create characters from thin air and become them. Think like them. Speak like them. Feel what they feel. Every time I hear the song Monster by Eminem and Rihanna I think of all of my fellow authors. We are all essentially crazy in our own right. We talk to the voices in our head. Each and every day we put words to paper v and leave a little of ourselves behind. We become invested in the lives and relationships of the people we create. Writing is exhausting physically and emotionally. There are those out there that scour books for flaws. Readers that post harsh criticisms when all we ask for is some compassion for our craft. If you leave a review of a book, and we hope you do, be constructive. Even if you don't like the story, there is no need to be cruel. That brings me to my next point. Pirates. Those readers who the our hard work and post it for others to get for free. To steal from us. As I said, we work hard on these books, and despite the popular belief; most of us don't make very much money from these books. This includes buying a book from Amazon, reading it and then returning it. We often give books away, so for someone to steal when we try to be generous; it's disheartening. Now I know I've been going on and on, but I just felt these things needed to be said. So many people are not aware of these things. So the next time you hear of a site where you can download a book for free. Take a moment and share some of this information with them. I hope you enjoy the stories you read and feel what we feel when we write them!
